Qatar Says LNG Damage May Take Years to Repair
Context
Joining Bloomberg This Weekend, Qatar Central Bank Governor and Qatar Investment Authority Chairman Sheikh Bandar bin Mohammed bin Saoud Al-Thani says damage to the country’s LNG facilities could take two to three years to repair, with the conflict contributing to a 7% economic contraction even as the non-hydrocarbon economy grows. He says Qatar’s strong fiscal position has allowed QIA to continue investing globally, with technology and AI among its major areas of focus, while the central bank is deploying AI across its own operations.
